Censorship Run Amok: Covid, The Lab Leak, Masks & The Twitter Files

Many reports and opinions once labelled “misinformation” turned out to be true.

In recent years, people in government and big media suddenly decided it was their job to stop “misinformation."

Facebook banned posts that claimed Covid leaked from a lab.

Now experts say the lab leak theory is probably right.

Senator Rand Paul was suspended from YouTube for saying, “masks don't work very well, particularly the cloth masks.”

What he said is absolutely true.

Twitter prevented the NY Post’s reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptop from being shared.

The story was accurate.

It’s bad thing when media censors people.

It’s worse when government polices speech.

Twitter’s recently released internal files show government tried to control what you read.

YouTube can't even let the flagship of unbiased journalism John Stossel post a video without putting up a censorship/clarification panel. This is madness

John is aware that we Americans LOVE his style of reporting, I have for years and years now.
So glad he's still got it !

Because nobody is held accountable in the media or government, this will continue to happen.

The fact that YouTube put a covid warning on this is hilarious and disturbing at the same time!

[wolfonthehill]

They put a covid information tag on your video and I had to click the like button multiple times before it was accepted. Don't ever think the thought police are giving up their quest for control.

I'm so tired of YouTube slapping labels on any video about COVID.

It's important we NEVER forget that this happened

Penalties for government officials attempting to violate citizens' constitutional rights must be swift and harsh. Those entrusted with power cannot be allowed to abuse it in a free society.

Scary times we're living in. Can't believe some people can't see what this country is becoming.

[tankerd]

You're doing God's work Stossel. People really need to hear this.

"They don't know what the truth is." I beg to differ. They know full well they have been propagating lies.

[papagolf]

It's sooo frustrating when you have a lot of relatives that go hook, line and sinker for that kind of politics.

Thanks, John. We’re in deep shit here. Need trusted voices to awaken and speak.

[wompa]

The whole country pays the consequences for this. Except those in positions of power who carried out the censorship.

[Darthbelal]

Worst part is that our government and social media lied and lied and lied and no one has been held accountable. It infuriates me...

[jovetj]

WHY are we NOT in open REVOLT over this TYRANNY??

[justinmadrid]

If they blatantly lie about these things, it makes you wonder, what else have they been lying about?
